    According to my tire diameter, tire od, and final gear, i hit 153 mph.... There was still another 1200rpm to go...
    VERY scary at that speed. I had a strech of empty highway.

    The speedo needle is vertical, speedo only goes to 120MPH (damn engine swaps)

    I would guestimate 130.

    Approx. 250 km/h with about ~500 rpm left in 6th... But speedometers aren't very accurate at high speeds. I'll never do that again.

    you are right, 3rd gear going from 4000rpm too 4500 rpm i raised from 140kmh to 160kmh and hit the governor, so im estimating i can hit 180 by the time i redline (5200rpm) and still have 4th gear, which starts at around 3500 rpm. I dont think the tires can handle any higher speed that which the governor is set at though. So it wouldnt be safe to up the governor.

    Estimated I had mine going over 150 m/hr. My buddy was going had his speedo buried past 140m/hr and I was still pulling on him. Should be a lot more with my new 6 spd this summer.
